Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition Program
The Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program was established to identify, evaluate, and acquire data from commercial providers that support NASA's Earth science research and application goals.
Through this program, all federally funded research qualifies for free access to Planet's vast archive of PlanetScope and RapidEye imagery for scientific research use.
Getting started with Planet data
Rapidly onboard with Planet using a range of self-guided tutorials and guides that help you take advantage of our unprecedented dataset and platform.
Data access is managed by the team at NASA via their SmallSat Data Explorer. NASA's CSDA Data Management team will be continually archiving data, with a 30 day latency, from areas of interest and making the data available. If you would like to get access to the data of an area and timeframe that does not seem to be available, please contact the CSDA Data Management Team using their Data Request Form to assist with your data needs.
Interactive Training & Education
Live and on-demand training and topical education sessions are held throughout the year. These cover various ways to download and interact with Planet data, ingesting it into your workflows, and research presentations by both researchers and Planeteers. Training sessions are announced in our science newsletter, Planetology. You can also view upcoming sessions and register for free over at Planet University.
